Pokeballs

Whats a poke ball?
when you start out on your journey in a pokemon game, you will receive 5 pokeballs, hopefully we all know what a pokeball is but i'll still explain. a pokeball is a tool to store or catch a pokemon to use in battle, different pokeballs have different catch rates then others, and we will be talking about some of the more well known pokeballs.

Old ball
the first known pokeball was the old ball, it consisted of a all whitish grey appearance, with a red knob at the top. (It looks suspiciously like a weapon)

Pokeball
ok hopefully all of us have heard of this ball. its appearance is pretty simple, red on top, white of bottom. its catch rate is 0 to 255 and will quickly be replaced by better balls (Ugh)

great ball
to some people this is just a better version of the pokeball, but did you know that it originally had an S on it? the S stands for super ball I wish I just made that name up (Why did nintendo have to make them balls, why not impossible cubes? like imagine that, you threw a pokeimosiblecube) the catch rate of one of these great balls is 0 to 200

ultra ball
from now on in this article I'm just going to say ultra b, instead of ultra balls. an ultra has the highest catch rate under the master b, with 0 to 150. this like the great b had a letter on it, the letter H for Hyper b, honestly I think this sounds better. it has a black and white appearance with some yellow.

Master ball
the master b, the most overpowered ball in the entire franchise. You: "Oh but what about the clone ball or the dar-" MOST OVERPOWERED! this ball has a 100% catch rate, and there is only one in each game. wait... ok nevermind the max you can have is 999 probably. but in normal gameplay there can only be one ball to rule them all... moving on... this is kinda a purple on top with 2 magenta circles to the side, with a M for Master.

What happens inside a pokeball?
well there are two main theories, one you might be jealous of, the other is more on oh my word i'm suing game freak. so one theorie on what happens inside a pokeball is not very likely, but it is fun to think about, the idea is that when a pokemon is inside a pokeball they are in a utopia matching the pokemons likes, the only evidence for this is balls like dive balls. dive balls are more likely to catch water type pokemon, so that might mean that water pokemon like it more in dive pokeballs rather then regular pokeballs. the other theory is more likely, and also kind of animal cruelty, the theory is that the pokemon are shrunk down to fit inside the pokeball, just to sit there. IMAGINE BEING A POKEMON IN THE BOX WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT SIT! the evidence for this is that in one of the episodes of black and white we can see a dragonite sitting in a pokeball just sitting their!
